This Jesus Must Die lyrics
Priest 1:
Good Caiaphas the counsil waits for you
The Pharisees and priests are here for you
Caiaphas:
Ah gentlemen - you know why we are here
We've not much time and quite a problem here
Mob outside:
Hosanna! Superstar!
Annas:
Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with lepers and the whole town's on its feet
All:
He is dangerous
Mob outside:
Jesus Christ Superstar -
Tell us that you're who will say you are
All:
He is dangerous
Priest 2:
The man is in town right now to whip us some support
Priest 3:
A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort
All:
He is dangerous
Mob outside:
Jesus Christ Superstar!
All:
He is dangerous
Priest 2:
Look Caiaphas - they're outside our yard
Priest 3:
Quick Caiaphas - go call the Roman guard
Caiaphas:
No wait - we need a more permanent solution to our problem
Annas:
What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth
Miracle wonderman - hero of fools?
Priest 3:
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans
Caiaphas:
One thing I'll say for him - Jesus is cool
Annas:
We dare not leave him to his own devices
His half - witted fans will get out of control
Priest 3:
But how can we stop him? His glamour increases
By leaps every minute - he's top of the poll
Caiaphas:
I see bad things arising - the crowd crown him king
Which the Romans would ban
I see blood and destruction, our elimination
because of one man
Blood and destruction because of one man
All:
Because, because, because of one man
Caiaphas:
Our elimination because of one man
All:
Because, because, because of one
'Cause of one, 'cause of one man
Priest 3:
What then to do about this Jesusmania?
Annas:
How do we deal with the carpenter king?
Priest 3:
Where do we start with a man who is bigger
Than John was when John did his Baptism thing?
Caiaphas:
Fools! You have no perception!
The stakes we are gambling are frightenly high!
We must crush him completely
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die
All:
Must die, must die, this Jesus must die
Caiaphas:
So like John before him this Jesus must die
All:
Must die, must die, this Jesus must,
Jesus must, Jesus must die.
